Yesterday the teachers union persuaded the states schools to close so they could go to Olympia and protest for an income tax.

Aren't they on Salary, teachers I mean? Law Suit, misuse of tax money!

The teachers union persuaded the puppet school boards to allow the teachers to TRADE a scheduled in-conference date or extended the school year by a day for this.

There's a state law that mandates school years be 180 days. There's also a law that prevents strikes by teachers, however our socialist governor Gary Locke, didn't enforce the rule this past September when three districts in the Puget Sound region striked for higher pay for 15 or 20 days. They actually had parents on the picket line with them, and others trying to privately raise the million dollars or so the two sides were apart.

They used school buses yesterday to transport the teachers to Olympia. So far I've not seen whether or not the union paid for the use of the buses, but I would bet....
